Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance zoning 4.52 acres located on the north side of E. Old Settlers Boulevard and west of N. Kenney Fort Boulevard to the OF-1 (General Office) zoning district. (First Reading)
Body
This rezoning was requested by the property owner, Brooks Clark Properties, Ltd. The 4.52-acre property was annexed into the city in 2009 as part of an approximately 20-acre area on the north side of Old Settlers Blvd. No zoning was applied to this area upon annexation.
The request is for the OF-1 (General Office) district to accommodate a day care center. Day care centers are permitted in this district, subject to compliance with standards for buffering from single family or two-family properties. The property’s residential designation on the Future Land Use Map is compatible with the OF-1 district.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on October 6, 2021 and voted 8-0 to recommend approval. There were two speakers at the public hearing, both owners of adjacent properties, one to the north outside of the city limits, and one to the east, within the city. Both had questions about how the site would be developed and how it might impact the use of their properties.
